This recipe is easy like a Sunday morning, a sheer breeze to whirl up and totally worth it!

Let’s cook:

1. Mix the oats, a heavy dash of cinnamon and almond milk together in a saucepan over a low heat. Cook and stir until it’s lovely, thick and creamy!

2. Set your porridge to the side. Now let’s caramelise us some pears! Add the coconut oil to a saucepan: add your chopped pear, cinnamon and maple syrup/agave. Cook until a lovely thick sauce forms and your juicy pear chunks are super soft.

3. Add the handful of dates to the caramelised pear mix, stir in until heated through.

4. It’s time to quickly toast your pecans by throwing them into another clean saucepan. The smell of these beauties slowly toasting makes my heart very very happy.

5. Quick, quick! Heat your porridge through once more until piping hot. Add some more almond milk for extra creaminess, if you wish. Now it’s time to serve. First, pop your porridge into your bowl of choice. Next goes the caramelised pear mix and then finally your crunchy toasted pecans.

Delicious, and nutritious. What more could you want this weekend?
